• 1 tablespoon vegan butter or olive oil

For the Mushrooms

• 1 tablespoon vegan butter or olive oil
• ½ yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 450 g button mushrooms (about 6 cups sliced)

For the Coconut Sauce

• 1 tablespoon vegan butter or olive oil
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
• 1 ½ cups Mementa's Coconut Milk 
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Lightly grease a pizza pan.

2. Prepare the Mushrooms

• Melt 1 tablespoon vegan butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sauté onions and garlic for 2 minutes until softened.
• Add sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until reduced in size.
• If needed, add a splash of water to prevent sticking.
• Remove mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.

• Sprinkle in flour and stir into a paste. Cook for 1 minute.
• Whisk in Mementa's Coconut Milk, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Simmer and whisk for 5 minutes until thickened. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
• Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

4. Assemble the Pizza

• On a lightly floured surface, stretch the pizza dough to fit your pan.
• Spread the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the dough.
• Pour the cooled coconut sauce over the mushrooms.

5. Bake the Pizza

• Bake for 18–20 minutes until the crust is golden and the sauce is bubbling and lightly browned.
